Rte. 18 down to 1 lane after 150-gallon gas spill

Sunday

A leak of some 150 gallons of gasoline from a fuel tanker at a service station on Rte. 18 near Winter Street this morning has throttled traffic in the area, shutting the road down to one lane.

A tanker from J.P. Noonan was filling gas tanks at the Golf station at 237 Main Street today when a car drove over the hose connecting the truck to the storage tank. Gas poured out over the station parking lot and spilled onto the road.

Police and fire responded to the scene, as well as a clean-up crew from Clean Harbors Environmental Services.

About a half dozen officers are directing traffic at the scene.
